Why We Love Short No-Fly Cruises with MSC Cruises - MSC's short no-fly cruises from the UK are a fantastic option if you're after a quick escape that doesn’t involve airports. In just a few days, you can hop over to some brilliant European ports – stroll the chocolate-box streets of Bruges, explore Rotterdam’s modern skyline and quirky architecture, or take in the maritime charm of Cherbourg on the Normandy coast. These mini getaways are ideal for first-time cruisers, couples looking for a weekend with a twist, or anyone who fancies a change of scenery without the stress. Plus, sailing straight from Southampton means you can settle into holiday mode the moment you step onboard.
Your cruise line: MSC Cruises is known for its stylish ships packed with things to see and do. Whether you fancy relaxing by the pool with a cocktail, catching a theatre show in the evening, or indulging in everything from sushi to stone-baked pizza, there’s something for everyone. The ships have a modern, cosmopolitan feel, with everything from kids’ clubs and spas to shopping arcades and late-night bars. Even on a short cruise, you’ll get a real taste of what life at sea can offer – and with plenty included, it’s excellent value too.
